Loren Coleman – Fact or Fake? The Patterson-Gimlin Film at Fifty
Taking the long view of the famed Patterson-Gimlin footage, director of the International Cryptozoology Museum, Loren Coleman, reviews whether the 1967 film today is seen as a mellow mature milestone or a fading fragile fake by different populations of Bigfooters, scientists, and the public.
